Getting Killed in Vegas 2/4 Games and Can't Find a Way Out

[AudioPhile84]

I've had similar problems like this playing 3/6 limit games in my local casino in St. Louis. But basically I've come to the conclusion that you simply can not outplay these people. I repeat: You cannot outplay these people. It's impossible. If you're constantly going to the river with 3-4 people in the hand the only way you will win is with good cards playing a tight-aggressive style but opening your hand selection up a little bit pre-flop with suited Aces and suited connectors. Just bet your strong hands and fold your marginal hands. Chances are high you'll have 2-3 players going to the showdown anyways. The implied odds in these games are usually pretty high so staying in with flush and straight draws is not a bad play. Make sure the pots you win are big by betting straight-forward through the whole hand, and make sure the pots you lose are small by not bluffing, check-raising, or calling with marginal holdings. Please don't complain that I'm stating the obvious because there is not much else you can do in these games.
